Quoting /usr/share/doc/xdm/NEWS.Debian.gz:
,----
| xdm (1:1.1.6-4) unstable; urgency=low

| X server anymore. xserver-xorg-core now uses 96 instead of 75 by
| default, it should be fine for most people.

There is a successor named emelfm2¹ for it that has been ITP'ed but
isn't packaged yet. You can follow up on bug #433530² if you're
interested, and build from source in the meantime.
